She is an amazing crafter & one of my biggest inspirations for mixed media works :)

Here's my card, the (nearly) CAS way :)







●I've used PP from Prima 'All about me' collection, sponged inks around (memento rosebud, vintage photo, Bravo micia blue)
●white embossed the sentiment on plain red cardstock
●I've drawn, colored (with watercolor pencils) and fussy cut the cake & candles, added wink of stella clear glitter over the cake frosting.





●I've used pearls in place of cherries
●For the party scene, I sponged DI through Prima Stars stencil & added glossy accents over them.
●confetti, sentiments are from AveryElle cakes & candles stamp set.

Here's the video link. I almost never post videos but I really think the flipping is so cool :)

CAS CARD : JUST GO

Hi,
My crafting marathon continues. . :)
I love recycling.. I had in my stash, this saree packaging cardboard which had some dry embossing on it & most of all a brilliant yellow color...
I was saving it for so long to use in a proper way & what better way than to make a monochromatic card :)
When I saw the Challenge,  I knew this was the time :)
I made the card for my travel loving friend, especially cycling :)
Here it is :)





I cut out 1/2" width panels from the packaging & stuck using glue at regular intervals. .. I dint bother measuring exactly. . I have used my white gel pen to add some highlights in the center,  some dots around & faux stitches on the edges. .

The cycle is from "wood venner: transportation" (I luv luv luv them), inked with black soot DI, heat embossed with "Wow!" clear sparkle embossing powder.
stuck on the cardbase with liquid glue.

I drew & cut the flag banner from the same box.. sentiment is handwritten. . stuck with foam squares.





On the inside of the card, I also stamped another sentiment from the Penny Black eloquence stampset (am using it for the second time in a row & still can't get enough of it ;)) 

Done.





I have improved in making envelopes over time & I am really satisfied about how this one has turned out to be, almost perfect, considering it was not a standard size card :) Here's a peek on the tool which helps me the most for envelope making.. I took it from my cousin's geometry box.. He doesn't use it much anyway :P





My inspiration for this card is a digital design I made for my profile pic :P
I added the photo of this sentiment too, some light Fx & ended up making this digi poster :) (fully made with PicsArt app)





Hope you enjoyed this. Do lemme kno ur comments. They mean a lot to me. Thanks for your time :)

CAS Card : music

Hi ,
it's been a crafting marathon for me right now & I simply couldn't stop :) maybe coz I might take a week off to my secluded village, a place where I feel more at peace..
So, my stories apart, Here is a super quick CAS card I have made inspired by the CASE THIS SKETCH design. . it's the 100th challenge so I just couldn't slip past that :) and it's not exaggeration when I say, it's the quickest card I have ever made :D





The sentiment is from Penny Black "eloquence" stampset set, white embossed with Ranger white embossing powder on black cardstock. 

design done with music notes Washi tape. .

I felt the sentiment goes perfectly well with the music theme..

Done :D

Hope you enjoyed this. Do lemme kno ur comments. They mean a lot to me. Thanks for your time. :)

Like you Latte card

Hi,
Today I'll be sharing a personalised card I made for my best friend :) Here it is :)





kindly read on if you are interested in the steps :)
I cut a standard size cardbase, then a 2 1/4" inch circle (using martha stewart circle cutter) in the front of the card slightly offside from the centre.
actually I did in 2 steps as concentric circles.

I colored these circles with inks (memento rosebud, lilac posies ) & created the bg using keyboard stamp from Prima Coffee break stampset collection & memento sweet plum ink.

Then I made the elements using the same stamp set & colored with ikea watercolor pencils.
I stuck the circle on the inside exactly through the hole in the front using glue.
I've stuck the latte cup with foam squares to give dimension & it pops up on the outside.

The sentiment is from Penny Black stampset.





in the front page,  I've used peacock feathers & vintage photo Distress inks around the circle & and numbers washi tape on the side.. sponged some vintage photo ink on all sides.. i felt sponging gives more of a coffee-ish feel than blending... coffee beans stamped with gathered twigs ink & colored.





to make the name plate, I've cut the doodle frame from Prima "All about me" Paper pad collection & wrote her name on it..
stuck few pearls on it & wink of stella clear glitter over the elements for bling.

Done.

CAS card: Birthday-sea

Hi,
Am so excited about My cousin's second birthday which falls on this Saturday.  So I've made a card for my cutie little pie :) Here it is :)





First I drew & cut the wave pattern out of scrap cardstock & used it as stencil to ink on the cardbase as well as the PP (from prima "all about me" collection)
I've used peacock feathers & salty ocean distress inks.
Same steps for the clouds too.. (Bravo blue ink)

Using the stencil collection from itsybitsy,  I've inked the seahorse (memento tangelo, Dandelion) on a cardstock & fussy cut it leaving white border all around.
The boat & sails are hand drawn & fussy cut too..

The number 2 is cut from a cute pink PP from the same collection.

Sentiment is from AveryElle cakes & candles stamp set. I've white embossed with Ranger white embossing powder.
I used Brush embossing pen & "wow!" clear sparkle embossing powder over the seahorse.
I've bought the Ranger craft heat tool recently & using it for the first time :)

I assembled the elements & stuck with both glue & foam squares accordingly to achieve dimension :)
Added two adhesive pearls from Say it with crystals in place of the bubbles :)
Done.

I hope he enjoys the card (may tear it now :D) when he is all grown up too :)

Hope you liked it. Thanks for your time.

CAS: you r my reason y

Hello,
Here's a CAS Card I've made..





The tag is done with masking technique & inking. I used a sturdy card for the diagonal division & washi tapes for the stripes. inks are from the Bravo! pigment ink collection..
White dots with gel pen instead of gesso splashes coz I wanted them to be more controlled.
sentiment is from technique Tuesday stamp.





i created the BG by placing the paper directly onto the inkpad in random directions. The fabric texture as well as combination of colours are so helpful...

stuck the paper on to the base with adhesive tape, strip of vellum beneath the tag with tape & then stuck them on with foam squares to add some dimension. 

finally I added some crystal stickers (am so lovin them)

Hope you enjoyed this.
Ur comments mean a lot to me. Thanks for your time:)

CAS card: Halloween

Hello,

  This is the first time am making a Halloween themed project :) & it's a CAS card.. Here it is. .





I drew & cut the ghost from scrap paper & used it as template to draw on  the piece of white cardstock. Fussy cut the outlines (was afraid that bending the card too much while cutting may spoil it but somehow managed it without much damage. I guess I should use paper next time)

After sticking it in place over the blacpaper, I stuck the googly eyes.
The little banner is made out of vintage tag washi tape..
Stamping was not bold enough due to the glossy surface. so I reinforced with black fine liner pen.
White dots with gel pen to look like brads.





Stuck everything on white cardbase with double sided thin adhesive tape.

Done.

Hope you liked it. Cheers.

I've used ledger PP from Prima sunrise sunset collection & distressed with "gathered twigs". Stuck at a slightly tilted angle with thin adhesive tape leaving the corners.
Stamped the the telephone with memento tuxedo black & colored with watercolor pencils. Highlights with white gel pen.
I've fussy cut the image & stuck with foam squares, having stamped the image once again on the paper (I dint wanna cut out those wires & tiny elements)
I've applied modpodge to seal everything & glossy accents over the dial.
Added some crystal stickers for bling.


Hope you enjoyed this.

Here's a quick & easy CAS card I have made.

Faux stitches with uniball signo white gel pen & stuck with foam squares.

Done.

CAS card: Mangalyaan

Hello,
I have made a card for the historic success of Mars orbiter mission, commonly called the "MANGALYAAN" by the ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation).
Am including the Wiki link here:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Orbiter_Mission

Here's the card.





I've cut out a pattern paper from "sunrise, sunset" collection to make the dome representing mars & inked the edges.

I drew the rocket myself (referenced from the clipart in whatsapp :P) colored with markers & inks, cut out and stuck on another piece of cardstock to get the white border around & also to make it sturdier.





Wrote the sentiment on vellum sheet with pilot black fine liner pen. Colored the two 'O' to depict mars & earth. Stuck all elements on a plain black sheet, vellum at the back with tape, rocket with foam squares.

The white starry dots are made with gel pen. I guess I cluttered them too much towards the end &  wish I could have an undo button in real life :(

Hope you liked it.  Cheers.

CAS card: color splash

Hello,
Here's a CAS card following the color splash technique once again.





I used "Scribbles" washi tape to create the background. looks like a patterned paper when complete.

I've cut out the banner from black paper. I didn't have white ink so I stamped the sentiment with versamark & wrote over it with white gel pen.

I used a template to draw & cut out the butterfly, and marker & ink pad to color it. I applied directly from "Bravo" micia ink pad so it gave all these fabric patterns & hence it looks like denim. I absolutely love this effect. 





Stuck a blue stone to it.
Faux stitches all around with white pen.
The dimension of the wing is cool in real than the pic.

I applied some random dots using glossy accents to add more interest.  Done.

Now for the digi remix,
Originally my idea was to make the sentiment blended with the scribblings. I had an afterthought of making it pop out a bit more. So I have inverted the banner. I've also played with the butterfly's hue.





Hope you enjoyed it. Cheers
Create. Have fun.

CAS card : WITH LOVE

Hello,
I happened to see the CAS(E) this sketch challenge blog & instantly liked it :)  many different approaches on a basic layout, therefore a great opportunity to push our limits & think out of the box..
This is the basic sketch:
(link to the challenge below)

http://casethissketch.blogspot.in/2014/09/case-this-sketch-92.html?m=1


Here's what I have come up with:





I've flipped the orientation of the image.

Steps follow & digital remix at the end:

To begin with,  am a recent beginner when it comes to paper crafts & so I don't have too many supplies. But that doesn't have to stop me from creating what I want :) it may not be perfect like stamping but am happy with the results.
I took reference from net & hand drawn all the elements.





For the bg, I have applied two shades of blue pigment ink.

For the sentiment,  I used a collage of many stamp sets using masking technique to put them all together in place. I cut out & stuck Little hearts in envelope as well as the sentiment.

For the snowy effect, I needed more control. So I went for random dots with my gel pen rather than splashes with paint/gesso.

Stuck the base to the card stock 4 1/4" × 5 1/2"

Done.





For the digital remix, I always wanted a different sentiment for this scene.  So I applied some filters , added a new text & a cute clipart from picsart valentine collection.





Hope you enjoyed seeing it as much as I did while making. (Only con is that my glue tape runner got messed up & I guess it won't work anymore:(:( )
It happens.  Cheers.
Create. Have fun.

CAS: miss you

Hello,
Here is another CAS card.. this time I have used distress ink for the watercolor effect in the BG..







Read on if you are interested in the steps below & digital remix at the end.!!







These pretty much sums up the products used..
First, I cut a 5"×3 3/4" watercolor paper. Then I applied some distress ink (mowed lawn) over a pvc sheet & then sprayed some water with mini mister over that. Moved the paper over it multiple times. It gives that blotchy effect.
(Initially I tried with cardstock & it ended up very badly. It totally absorbs all the color instantly & doesn't spread at all So I had to discard it.)

I stamped & cut the cute little birdie & stuck googly eyes

I cut the 4 1/4" × 11" cardbase, folded in half. Pasted the colored paper with glue runner leaving 1/4" margin all around.

I stamped the birdhouse with memento tuxedo black, stuck the bird & wrote the sentiment "miss you" with the uniball signo white pen
I added a white margin around the bird as I wasn't satisfied with the black one. I guess it made a huge difference :) finally glossy accents over the bird.
Card is done.







I like the simplicity of it & maybe CAS style attracts me a lot. Hoping to do more.

Now for the digital remix :) lonely feel changed into a chirping romance !! So much Fun :)







Cheers.
Create. Have fun
